Milbank: For most, nothing is going to change for women

I found myself in a TV makeup room with two of the most prominent men in the news business this last week, just after the New York Times suspended White House correspondent Glenn Thrush over allegations of sexual harassment and hours before CBS News suspended Charlie Rose over similar allegations.

We were discussing the question that has dominated conversation in our business for weeks. “How,” one of them wondered aloud, “does this end?”

I believe it will end with a whimper.

Famous and powerful men will continue to fall from high positions. And for the vast majority of women, nothing will change.

An important data analysis from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, released Monday by the Center for American Progress, broke down the industries that generate most sexual-harassment charges. Some of the leaders: hospitality and food services (14 percent of complaints), retail (13 percent), manufacturing (12 percent), health care (11 percent), and administrative and support (7 percent). The “information” (3 percent) and arts and entertainment (2 percent) sectors are well down the list.
